Officials: There's No Giant Island of Floating Tsunami Wreckage Heading to US
Next they'll tell us chemtrails aren't real either
Federal officials say there is no island of debris from the 2011 Japanese tsunami floating toward the United States.
Some media reports have warned of a Texas-sized island of wreckage, based on a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration map of tsunami debris.
But NOAA marine debris chief Nancy Wallace says that's not true. She said Thursday that there's an area in the Pacific where debris is likely to concentrate more, but there's not much there.
